AB 2362: Pupil transportation.
The bill aims to improve pupil transportation safety by setting a lower drive time limit for school employees. For local educational agencies with fewer than 2,500 students, the drive time limit would be 200 hours per year instead of 40 hours. This change is intended to reduce the risk of driver fatigue and improve overall safety. Additionally, the bill establishes a rural transportation safety grant program to provide funding to small and rural local educational agencies for training, inspections, and compliance with driver requirements. The grant program is contingent upon an appropriation.
